Range Report

Yesterday was Beyond the Basics Pistol and AT-4. LONG day out in the sun. Had great class with only one hiccup. Guy with a Les Baer 1911 that required you to manually push the slide stop down once it locked open. The slide stop had been filed such that pulling the slide all the way back did not contact the slide stop enough to push it back down out of the way.

Other than that we had a good time, safe shooters and it was refreshing to see Law Enforcement Officers out on the range for class. They shot very well and I hope they never have to use the skills they learn out on the street. However, if it should come that they need their skills, they certainly proved the have the skills.

At least the wind was not as bad a last week when we inhaled half a ton of dirt.
